Interview with a Hacker

Interview with Trouble

Interviewer: Welcome, Trouble. We’re happy to have you here.

Trouble: Thank you. It’s awesome to be here.

Interviewer: So, tell me a little about yourself

Trouble: Okay. I’m a 15 year old hacker in training. I live with my mom, who is NEVER home. I love the 80’s and would kill to have grown up then.

Interviewer: A hacker? Like computers?

Trouble: Yes.

Interviewer: Aren’t you a little young for that?

Trouble: Aren’t you a little old to write YA novels?

Interviewer: Touche. Tell me about the mentor who is teaching you their hacking skills.

Trouble: Dark Jimmy is a super guy. He’s a bit Gothic in nature but very high tech in practicality. He’s patient, as long as I’ve got my head in it. I do sometimes tend to let my random thoughts get in the way of my learning.

Interviewer: I think we all do that from time to time. Where did you meet Dark Jimmy?

Trouble: The park.

Interviewer: That sounds kind of creepy.

Trouble: Not really, He was in first grade, and I was in second.

Interviewer: Oh. He’s very young.

Trouble: He’s a genius.

Interviewer: Sounds like you might have a little crush.

Trouble: Ha! He’s not my type.

Interviewer: Age too much of a difference?

Trouble: He’s a boy.

Interviewer: Oh. Moving on. Are you interested in anything else besides hacking and the 80’s?

Trouble: I like art. Abstract art. I have a studio in the back of my house.

Interviewer: Are you excited about a project you’re working on?

Trouble: A hacker project. It’s very paranormal. And I get to work with someone I think is pretty special.

Interviewer: That’s all the time we have. Thank you to Trouble. You readers interested in Trouble can read more about her in the YA horror novel, SHADOWS, due out this year.
